Landcare on Monday 3rd July

The next Mt Rogers Working Bee will be on Monday 3rd July.

We'll meet, around 09.30, near the main path above the easement between Carey Place, Melba, and Hammett Place, Spence. There's parking in both of these cul-de-sacs.

We'll be continuing seeking and pulling up seedlings and saplings of introduced species:
*Privet,
*Cotoneaster,
*Ivy,
but working to the north of our session on Sunday 25th June. 

Please dress for the expected weather. We can supply suitable gloves and secateurs but welcome your company and muscle power!

Sunday 25 June landcare working bee

The next Mt Rogers Working Bee will be on Sunday 25th June. 

We’ll meet, by 09.30, near the main path above the easement between Carey Place, Melba and Hammett Place, Spence. There’s parking in both of these cul-de-sacs.

We’ll be continuing seeking and pulling up seedlings and saplings of introduced species:
*Privet,
*Cotoneaster,
*Ivy,
as they will deprive native shrubs and trees of space, rain and nutrients if left to grow to maturity. 

In the above photo, the new tools that the Ginninderra Catchment Group https://ginninderralandcare.org.au/ 
has funded for our Landcare volunteers are being used in removing a large Cotoneaster.
The red berries were bagged and the leafy branches were placed around a eucalypt where they will decay, with fungal
and microbial help, returning nutrients to the reserve’s thin soils. 

Please dress for the expected weather.
We can supply suitable gloves and secateurs
and we welcome your company and muscle-power!

Mt Rogers working bee on Monday 5th June

Greetings Mt Rogers Carers,

On Monday 5th we will meet by 09.30
at the ‘eastern' arm of Schwarz Place, Flynn.

We’ll be continuing our seek-and-pull-out mission against Privet, Ivy and Cotoneaster seedlings which have grown from berries in gardens beyond Mt Rogers.

I will bring gloves and some ‘minimal disturbance’ digging tools.

The weather won’t be as warm as the last few days and the grass may well be damp.

Thank you,

Rosemary
